Over the past few years, Giro's goggle lineup has consisted primarily of entry and mid-tier models—perfect for the seasonal rider or new-to-the-sport enthusiasts. What they've lacked is a premium goggle with the features and fit to compete with the likes of Smith, 100%, Oakley, or Fox. Enter the Dropline—Giro's new gravity goggle that was designed from the ground up to push the envelope of what you should expect from a premium piece of eyewear.
The Tech
The Dropline is Giro's first goggle built from the feedback of their gravity athletes. It features two patent-pending technologies: a quick-change lens system and a DryCore sweat management system.
The lens has two posts on each end that press into dimples on the goggle frame. The lens sits against a thin sealing layer of foam to keep out moisture, and there are no tabs, flanges, or clips that need to be aligned.
DryCore integrates of a thin silicone bead into the brow of the goggle foam. Giro first used DryCore in their helmet pads to direct sweat away from your eyes and towards your temples. The concept works the same with the Dropline. You cannot see the silicone tube, but if you press your finger along the top edge of foam you can feel it sandwiched between the two layers of foam.
The Dropline has an oversized frame offering a very wide field of view that places it on par size-wise with 100% Armatic/Armega or Oakley Airbrakes, and larger than Smith's Squad XL or Fox's Vue goggles.
Outriggers attach a 45mm strap to the frame and allow the goggles to nestle close to your face. The strap also mounts to the outriggers at a slight upward angle to match where the strap sits on most helmets, which is typically higher than your eyes.
The Dropline retails for $139.99 and comes with Giro's trail-tuned tinted VIVID lens and a spare clear lens. The lenses are made of injected polycarbonate, making them MX-certified (EN1938 MX Standard), and they have an anti-fog treatment on the inside. The Dropline is also over the glasses compatible for those who ride with prescription eyewear.
There are four Dropline color ways to choose from:
